 Photography by Gary Mumaw

     Join us at the February 7 chapter meeting for Gary Mumaw’s program featuring photography of Arizona, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, and Europe. The meeting starts at 7:30 p,m, at the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands.

     Gary will show landscape and cityscape photography from his hiking trips and many of the places he has traveled to. He will also talk about high dynamic range imaging, digital enhancements, composition, and other methods to improve your photos.

     Gary Mumaw was introduced to photography in a high school photo class in 1970. His first camera was a Kodak Brownie. After some success in outdoor photography, Gary studied industrial photography at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, where he received a Bachelor of Art Degree in 1977.

     After graduating from Brooks, Gary started his photo career at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a lab tech working on the Voyager Mission to Jupiter. He became a professional industrial photographer in 1979 and worked in the field for over 30 years for defense contractors like Xerox, Loral, Lockheed Martin, and BAE Systems.

     In 2007, Gary regained his interest in outdoor photography on a hike to The Wave rock formation in North Coyote Buttes in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument in Arizona. His tag is “Master of Images” on Flickr and Facebook.
